Sounds like a fine idea to me. Please note, no one is suggesting that the copyright proposal be enforced either as it currently stands or immediately. The purpose of us rebooting the effort is to make the existing mess sane again, and to get some tooling developed around it exactly as you suggest. Only then would we put it forward for proper consideration. -- Noah Slater, http://tumbolia.org/nslater -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
